1t will be remembered that last March

twill be remembered that last March,
Mt Kansas City. Kansas, during the
great railroad strike, train was derail-
ed and the engine thrown into the Kaw
river, the brakeman and iiiemen both
being killed. n number of parties were
arrested charged with removing the
spikes and fish plates from the rails,
thus causing the wreck. Among the
number was VIM. VOssen, who made a
confession shortly after his arrest, last
March. In the trial now i'm progress at
Wyandotte, Vossen was put on the
stand last Thursday, and he made a
full confession, the substance Of which
was that he met Lloyd, Hamilton,
Geers, Leary and Newport, the other
five Knights Of Labor under indictment
for the crime, and Yarney ana higgins,
who are fugitiyes from justice, at the
knights Of labor hall on Sixth street,
Kansas City, Kansas, the night of the
wreck; that they all left the hall and
went To che point where the train was
wrecked, and that Vossen and Hamil-
ton stood guard, pistols IN hand, While
others pulled the spikes and removed
the iish-plates. HIS testimony was Civ
en- in manner that carried conviction
with 1t. 1t sounded like the story of a
man who repented an action into which
her had been drawn, and was willing to
suffer the consequences, and this. the
detective says, is the truth of the mat
ter. VOssen is bright, honest-loOklng
man, and told his story clearly and in
diligently, only occasionally stopping to
wipe the sweat. which was not caused
by the heat of the room, from his face.
lie said that he did not know where he
was going when he started out with his
companions, but did not wish to avoid
any of the consequences on that ac-
count, and that his confession was en-
tirely voluntary. Both sides are fight
ing every inch of ground, though the
indications are that a conviction will
follow. The offense these men are
charged with is as damnable as the
charges against the Chicago anarchists,
though but two lives were lost in the
wreck. Had passenger train attempted
to pass over the track, the loss of life
would have been far greater.

SOUTH SEA ISLANDERS:
A Shippers Story About These
Copper-Colored Savages.
Living on n Cluster of Coral Situated on the
EquatOr-King Timbanoka's Fondness
for Women. Wine and Jewelry-
Ears as Pockets.
[san Francisco Chronicle. I

A considerable amount of trade is done
yearly by vessels sailing from this port
with the South Sea Islands and the small
islands grouped in the Pacific ocean to
the northward and southwark of the
equator. On some of the larger of these
islands representatives of this and other
governments are stationed, and a consid-
cradle number of white people have set
tied for the purpose of trading with the
natives. At these islands vessels are con-
tinually trading. and news of the doings
of the natives and white settlers is often
published. On some of the smaller islands
farther to the east, however, a white man
is rarely seen; in fact. a white man is not
permitted to reside Of them. and the visits
of vessels for trading purposes are few
and far between Among these are
the Gilbert Islands, or, as they
are sometimes called. the KingsmiII
group. These are cluster Of coral in the
Pacific, situated on both sides of the equa-
tor, between longitude 172 deg. and ia
deg. east, and the population of all is about
10000. A vessel is dispatched to these
islands from this city on an average about
every nine months. As an indication of the
extent and nature of the trade done with
the natives Of these little-known islands
ii may be stated that the last vessel that
cleared for the islands from this port car
ried cargo valued at upwards Of $4,000

All OF the men even remotely con
nected with the big robbery f tie Al
ans express company nedi II. LOUIS
In October. have been captured auG agg
now IN jail, and nearly all oi tie inoiie,
stolen, about SS0,OOO, has been recover
ed, the robbers having confessed every
thing, and given the officers the infor-
nation that lead to the recovery of the
money. The man who cOncocted the
plan was named Haight, who had at
one time been connected with the ex-
press company; he was aided by Fred.
Wlttrock, who carried out the plans
and took the money from the messen-
ger, Fotheringham. Implicated as ac-
completes before and after the ROBBERY
was man named Oscar Cook and an
Other named Weaver. All of those i'm
pllcated had formerly been residents of
Leavenworth, Kansas, and Wittrock's
family lives there and is respected. In
Drlef the story of their capture is this:
In package that the robber left at the
check stand in the st. Louis union de-
pot was the number of a certain house
III that city. Inquiry at the house de-
veloped that two strangers had occu-
pied a room there a week. The detec-
tlves then learned the names and des-
criptions of all men discharged by the
Adams express company during year
or more before, and one of these fitted
description of one of the men who
mad stopped at the house in st. Louis.
lie was found to be located in ChIca-
go, and was found to be a companion
Of Wittrock and Weaver: while Witt
rock Tailed with the description Foth-
eringham had given of the man who
had overpowered him in the express
car. Wittreck was arrested i'm Chicago
where he was running a coal yard. It
Is presumed that he told of the others
connected with the robbery and where
the money was, for at the same time
Cook was arrested at Kansas City,
IIaight was arrested at Nashville.
Tenn. and the work of collecting the
stolen money was proceeded with. At
the house of Wittrock's mother in
LeaVenwOrth. box containing 500
600 was discovered, and scat
tered around the city other large
amounts were found buried; and a
good portion of the Doodle was found
in Kansas City. All of the gang say
that the messenger, Fotheringham, was
not implicated in the robbery and that
he did not know the perpetrators. All
through the affair Wittrock showed
bad judgment and recklessness. He
wrote the letters to the newspapers to
clear Fotheringham of suspicion and
the letters had the opposite effect.
After the robbery instead of keeping
the money to himself, he scattered it
broadcast and no less than twenty per-
sons were given some of it. The con-
victiOn of the robber and his associates
is foregone conclusion. The Pinker-
tons consider this the best piece of
work in their history.

Kansas Chief: blaine is going to
Europe, and it has already alarmed the
Blaineophobiaites. 1t is possible that
he has simply expressed an intention
of going to Europe, or that he thought
some of going; but they have mapped
out his whole route, the length of his
seay, and his design in going. lie is
going, they say, to visit Ireland, En-
gland and Germany. Most of This time
he will spend in Germany and Ireland.
In the latter country he will stir up
great enthusiasm, which will have a
similar effect upon the Irish in this
country, and unite them in support of
him for the presidency, Hewill return
to the United States about sixty days
before the meeting of the next repub-
lican national convention, just in time
to fire the party in the election of dele
gates. 1t is strange they omit TO say
that he will also create enthusiasm in
Germany, in order to solidify the Ger
man vote for himself. It IS impossible
for Blaine TO suit some folks. If he is
active in politics, he is working fer the
presidency; II he keeps quiet at home,
he is engaged ia some secret manipula-
ton Of politics. We verify believe that
If he should die and be buried, some OF
these suspicious fellows would swear
that he was only letting on" and
would suddenly come to life at the prop
er moment to make a great political
point The above shows that ''some
people" have Mr.. Blaine down pretty
fine. You can't fool them more than
a dozen times on any one racket. They
think SLIPPERY Jim" viii do to watch.

A VALUABLE JEWEL.
The Jeweled Butterfly Once Owned by
Marie Theresa Now in Detroit.
detroit Tribune


Lovers of rare old jewels may be interested
in knowing that a veritable Jewel worn by
Marie Theresa of Austria is in the possess
sion of Mr.. Ira Metcalf, of the firm of Met
calf Brothers. The jewel, which is kept
safely locked up, is in the shape of but
terf1y, and can be used as pin, pendant
or head ornament 1t is of very fine old
gold, thickly studded with jewels. In size
and shape it is fashioned after the Asterias
variety of butterflies, and is about three
inches across, with the wings spread The
wings, both upper and lower, are made of
diamonds varied with sapphires, rubies
and emeralds. There are sixty large dia-
monds and great number of smaller ones,
thlrty-eight rubies, twenty-eight emeralds,
and twelve sapphires. The eye-spots in
the wings are two opals, one a light gem
and the other dark green full of fire. An
oval opal of a dark green color repro
sents the body, dark brown opal Of
great value forms the head, and still darker
ones the eyes. The antenne are of Roman
gold.
: The effect Of the whole is most dazzling
and the workmanship exquisite, ant501Sk-
and of an early date, but in as perfect a
state Of preservation as when in cornet or
pin it adorned the head of the beautiful
queen.
This well-preserved and interesting relic
of a past splendor has been in Mr. Met
calf's possession for some time, but few
have known of it, and still fewer have had
the pleasure of seeing it. AS to its authep,
ITCHY, the owner, who has a penchant for
old and rare curios, is fully satisfied The
gem was purchased from one who knew
its past history, and as it is not claimed to
be an heirloom, but was procured through
legitimate sale, there is no question that it
was part of the imperial grandeur of the
court of the Emperor Charles VI. or Fran
chs ].
The value of the gems collectively is es.
timated as not far from $1,000. AS relic,
or when considered as the belongings of a
princely house and worn by one of the
crowned women of history, whose brilliant
career is unrivaled save by one, it is very
difficult to afix sufficient value. However,
it's present owner is disposed to keep it,
and it will consequently not soon change
ownership.

TIE GRAND JURY.

we were not among those who
! thought that there should be a grand
I jury ordered for Barber county, and at
the same time we are not inclined 10
gu stion the judgment of the officers
and citizens who induced Judge Ellis
10 order IT. 1t may be that crime is
stalking abroad in the land in such a
frightful men that the ordinary meth
ods OF the law are not sufficient TO con-
troll 1t; but we hardly think this is the
case in Barber county. We do not
doubt that the prohibitOry law is daily
violated in Barber the same as in every
other county III the state; and yet, we
do not believe that the grand jury was
necessary to enforce this law.
The county attorney elect, Mr.. Jones.
explains that he asked for the grand
jury because so many complaints had
been made to him by people against
the drug stores, saloons and gambling
J0useS, and even if he devoted every
moment Of his time TO the work. he
could not investigate all of these COM
plants. lie says that with a grand
jury Of Fifteen citizens to hear the COM
plants OF every one with a grievance
no one can charge that they have
not had the opportunity of informing
on all the transgressors of the law.
We are INCLINED TO the opinion that
TINS trst experiment with grand jury
VIII be an expensive luxury for Barber
county. The per diem and mileage of
the fifteen members will not be less
than 500 per term; then comes the
witnesses and their mileage; and, if
any indictments are found, then will
follow the court costs, more witness
Tees; continuances; change of Venue;
taking witnesses to other counties and
more mileage, and all TO satisfy few
persons who believe that the prohibi-
ton law can be made operative.
Another enc of the results of having
grand jury will probably be To give
busybOdies the opportunity of harrass-
ing their neighbors. One man will dis
cover that the trustee of his township
has neglected his duty and violated his
oath; another will report case of lille
gal voting; another will find satisfac-
ton in reporting the school officers in
his district; some extra smart aleck will
discover that the county officers have
not all been making reports as requir-
ed by law; and still another will ques-
ton the integrity of even the judicial
officers of the county. All can pour
their complaints into the ear of the
grand jury, and they can run crazy ey-
cry member of the jury and the county
attorney.
We don't say that all of these things
will happen; but they may.
We suggest to County Attorney
Jones that all great reforms cannot be
instituted in a day. lie will have two
years in which to revolutionlze the
present order OF things, and as friend
and admirer of the new democratic of
fetal !, the INDEX cpunsels him not to
| be too fast. 1t Will be his duty to wait
OH the grand jury and it will be in his
power - save Barber county much USE
less litigation, il he so desires.

The Fort Worth Gazette publishes
the official report of the convention of
judges from counties in the drouth dis
trict of Texas held at Albany, that
state. Twenty-one counties were rep
resented in the convention. The total
number of people in those counties
now in need of food, clothing and fuel
is placed at $4,000, while thousands
more are without seed to plant during
the coming year. An appeal is made to
the state and national legislatures and
to the country at large to furnish at
once 100000 to relieve their wants.
